My favorite swing in all of golf. So simple and yet I still can't copy it. lol No pretty hinge no bowed wrist, no flattening move just back and through.
Surprising more people don't teach this. But everyone is so caught up in trying to have 180+ mph ball speed. The arms and wrists seem like the key but his use of the ground, though relatively subtle, is solid
The simplest swing out there, a thing of beauty. A simple forward press then a turn back and turn through with a little weight shift into the lead side. Incredible in depth analysis from Mark.
Agree that Immelmann’s comments here are clear, free of technical jargon, and very much to the point. Great job Mark. That’s really valuable when analyzing Stricker because players of all levels can benefit from incorporating anywhere from some of it to all of it. This video tells you and then shows what Stricker does and why it works- all of it clear and direct. Of course, simple isn’t the same as easy. The guy spent years figuring it out in that heated hitting bay in Wisconsin!😅
I feel like he covered a variety of things across all of the different swing types that I'm hoping I can focus on to clean up some of my issues. I find myself focusing on so many things after watching some videos that I can't seem to grasp any of them. I kinda like this approach and hope i can streamline my approach a bit. 🤞
@scottdca1 I hear you on trying to grasp all these things…appears there are a few must haves for simplicity. Lead arm straight, hands raised at address ulnar deviation, lead shoulder behind ball at top of backswing, think Stricks smooth tempo! Wrist hinge is for suckers! Thanks Immels!
I noticed that he seems to start the forward swing with the arms, the naturally the weight shifts to the left. I’m having arguments with others on YT that argue the shift to the left goes first. Maybe for the Rorys and Scottys, but for average players we must start swinging first. I think Steve’s swing is much better for average players.
Steve has such a great, seemingly effortless swing. I see at address, for both driver and iron setups, the ball is at the heel of the clubface, almost at the hosel. Somewhere in the swing he has moved the club inward 1-2 inches for a center clubface impact.
@davidmartin123 That hosel line up with ball appears to be a key for single or one plane swingers. I think it accounts for hands set higher at address & the bending of the club just before impact
Raised hands to hit a draw, and take out a lot of wrist action. Simple and very efficient. None of this hold the angle, shallow the club, lag nonsense, look how the right arm is straight at impact. Fantastic repetitive swing, not much to go wrong.
Saw him at the range in Charlotte at the 2017 PGA and I watched all the big boys Mcilroy Hideki JT Speith DJ Fowler and all the rest. But the one that impressed me the most was Stricker. I watched him hit 15-20 balls to this one green 150-160 out and I swear he was like a machine ball after ball landing almost in the same spot.. Yea I know Mcilroy was one hopping the driver out of the range around 330 but those irons Stricker was hitting was very impressive..
Steve sticker is a super consistent golfer and don’t forget one thing - he is a truly fantastic putter - but I’m surprised how narrow and how square he is with his feet at address ( and he steps out / back of nearly every driver he hits
Mark does a great job. Just an observation I had at 10:55 I found it interesting that Steve places his ball near the heal of club head. Could be idiosyncratic or maybe on purpose? My only guess is it may help prevent toe strikes. Anyway, I’ll give it a try because my misses are toe strikes 😊
@louislane1968 As a repeat toe striker I can confirm when swinging one or single plane hosel lined up to ball is key! Get spray foot powder & see for yourself. Very telling
@@openstenosis Glad it works for you! It’s an occasional miss for me, so I’m not looking for a drastic set-up change yet. But who knows in this crazy game?!
Interesting swing and certainly efficient. Sadly, not enough specifics by instructors so others might copy or adapt method. Notice how discussion on swing but no response to comments or additional support on how to learn more or use techniques.😮 Lot more going on than wrist conditions and elegant swing.
@jack-hq7gr There are plenty of single, one plane, set up for impact instructors online. I think Stricks does it best since he really takes wrist hinge out of it!
@HolyGrailOfGolf I hear you on that but doesn’t Stricks take care of the all important impact by setting himself up for success ie hands high, swinging on single plane?
His driver swing looks like a wedge back swing and he hits it 15 mph faster than me 😭😭😂😂oh yeah, and he's 5 years older. And man, am I trying... Simple and beautiful.
Overcomplicating . Take the club up and back down the same line and around then come back up and down without doing to much wrist hinge as all you need is the face closing through the ball , to add pace and accuracy allow your left arm to be the fulcrum and push with the right always allowing the face to close through the ball .
